Che -Guevara Posted February 2, 2012 Brits are throwing their weight around to have everyone there-let's if he goes to the norther regions. I still don't know what prompted Britian to hold this out of the blue conference on Somalia apart from the state goals on the agenda which I believe didn't warrant this meeting.

Che -Guevara Posted February 2, 2012 ^A fact that has been established but what prompted this change in policy? Government alone mightn't responsible a shift in long standing policy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted February 2, 2012 William Hague visits 'world's most failed state' William Hague today called for a stepping up of the fight against Somali-based terrorism as he became the first British foreign secretary to visit the war-torn state for 20 years. His arrival in the capital Mogadishu amid tight security marked the start of a major diplomatic push to bring stability to a country he described as "the world's most failed state". Mr Hague said recent gains by the 10,000-strong African Union force in the country (Amisom) had driven back the radical Islamist group al Shabaab from the capital. But with much of the south of the country still controlled by the organisation, which has links to al Qaida, he said there must be no let-up in the pressure. "We need to step this up. We are not complacent about it," he said. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/william-hague-visits-worlds-most-failed-state-6298258.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted February 2, 2012 What could be their interest? Is the security situation in Somalia now disproportionately affecting the UK? Do they want a base there? Oil (and other natural resources)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good questions-I don't think they want a base or face high security threat from Somalia and as for natural resources, nothing is proven in Somalia, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
